About
Located in the Palmeraie, this museum houses the former workshop of Farid Belkahia (1934-2014), a pioneer of modern Moroccan art. The museum traces his unique artistic journey, from early expressionist paintings to iconic works crafted on copper and lambskin dyed with henna and natural pigments. The workshop preserved intact offers a deeply moving experience.
